Snagit also gets new dressed-up menu icons. And grabbing text is also improved you can now grab text from a Web page, maintain its formatting, and then format it by changing the font, size, color and so on. It’s now easier to fine-tune what you’ll capture by using new cross-hairs, which gives you greater control when you’re capturing a region of a screen. There are other useful additions, such as more-consistent scrolling and the ability to upload videos to the hosting site, also owned by Techsmith, makers of Snagit.

In addition, you can now add several fancy effects to your capture, such as adding a “page curl” effect which makes an image look as if one corner is being folded over as if a page were being turned. There’s more to Snagit as well, including a very useful “transparency” feature, which lets you capture and use graphics without their background colors so that they can be blended more easily into your presentation or Web page. The changes weren’t as drastic as between versions 8 and 9, but they’re still quite substantial. Version 10 shows there’s plenty more–and they’re important tools, not just filler to make it look as if there’s reason to upgrade. Users of Snagit’s version 9 may well have wondered what else could be stuffed into a screen capture program already filled with so many features. And there were plenty of editing tools as well, notably tools for annotating screen captures.Īmong Snagit’s new features are dressed-up menu icons and the All-in-One capture tool. And it featured plenty of options as well, such as a capture timer, the ability to choose whether to include cursors, and more. Pretty much whatever you could see on your screen, you could grab. Even in Snagit version 9, you could capture specific regions, windows, a full screen, scrolling windows, menus, entire Web pages, and videos. Even before the new version 10 of Snagit ($50, 30-day free trial), the program sported the most comprehensive feature set of any screen-grabber. The world’s best screen capture program just got better.
